1) What industry does the first video say drives the greatness of New York City? (one sentence)
2) How many New Yorkers were employed as stevedores and what percentage of New York Citys estimated working-age male population of two and half million in 1950 did that number represent?
3) Watching the first video, would you say that unloading goods was mostly by machine or mostly by hand at the time the first video was made?
4) How much of the United States foreign trade passed through New Yorks ports?
5) The first video, however, makes clear (presciently, since today there is almost nothing left of the industry) that there might be problems ahead for New Yorks harbor. What were those problems? (two to three sentences)
Hint: ignore the fact that the video claims New York City is working on solutions–those attempts at solutions emerged slowly, incompletely, and never worked.
6) Thinking about the second video, why might such a large share of the narcotics in the US come through New York City? (one to two sentences)
7) Thinking about the reading, why was New Yorks port so much more likely to generate crime in comparison to both (A) other industries (like automobiles in Detroit) and (B) other port cities? In other words, why did the unions on the docks behave less like a labor union and more like an organized crime family? Think about both geography and economy when crafting your answer.
